Specified in jnlp jvm argument but not applied by browser

Question

jlnp file specifies passing passing vm arguments   using java-vm-arguments attribute , it also provides list of acceptable arguments  as mentioned here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/syntax.html.
In my case , jvm argument  is   -Djava.security.debug=sunpkcs11,pkcs11. I added   this to jlnp file but this  is never loded by the browser jvm.  This is not mentioned in the above link so can this argument be passed to an applet?
here is my jnlp file
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="" href="">
    <information>
        <title>Applet</title>
        <vendor>ARTMS</vendor>
    </information>
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.7+"  java-vm-args="-Djava.security.debug=sunpkcs11,pkcs11"/>
        <jar href="dsapplet.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <property name="java.security.debug" value="sunpkcs11,pkcs11"/>
    <applet-desc
         name="Applet"
         main-class="com.service.TestApplet"
         width="900"
         height="300">
             <param name="java_arguments" value="-Djava.security.debug=sunpkcs11,pkcs11"/>
     </applet-desc>
  <security>
  <all-permissions/>
  </security>
     <update check="background"/>
</jnlp>
</pre>
